Roasted garlic is a flavorful and aromatic ingredient made by slow-cooking whole garlic bulbs until soft and caramelized. This process enhances its natural sweetness while taming its pungent bite. Commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, roasted garlic adds depth to dishes like spreads, sauces, soups, and roasted vegetables. Nutritionally, it retains many of the health benefits of raw garlic, including antioxidants, vitamin C, manganese, and allicin—a compound thought to support heart health and immune function. Roasting garlic can mellow its beneficial properties slightly due to heat, but it remains a low-calorie, nutrient-rich option. Its creamy texture and rich taste make it a healthier alternative to butter or heavy sauces in recipes. While roasted garlic is ideal for adding dietary variety, those monitoring sodium levels should pair it carefully with complementary ingredients.
